Our planetary neighborhood is a fascinating place, with each world exhibiting its own unique identity. Whether it's the phases of Venus , great storms in the Jovian cloud tops, or the enchanting rings of Saturn , there's so much variety to enjoy.
When shopping on a budget, there's an argument to be made for choosing a smaller refracting telescope than a similarly priced but larger reflector, because the secondary mirrors and struts in Newtonian telescopes perturb the incoming light in a way that reduces image contrast.

Planetary exploration is fraught with peril. Spacecraft—let alone humans—face a dramatic range of conditions, from airless worlds bombarded by tiny meteorites to environmental extremes. Even space itself poses risks. Spacecraft must sometimes endure intense radiation or extreme solar heat.
Before space travel, scientists knew little about what lay beyond Earth's atmosphere. The hazards of radiation and speeding particles could only be estimated from ground-based or high-altitude observations.
Star-mapping Gaia spacecraft spots a pair of Jupiter-like planets | Space
Gaia scientists are agog after finding out that the star-spotting spacecraft can double as a planet-hunter.
In a mission first, the long-time star surveyor spotted two Jupiter -size planets in a remote spot of the galaxy . The find was confirmed with the Large Binocular Telescope, in Arizona, and reveals the spacecraft can double as a spotter for alien worlds.

Journey to the mystery planet: why Uranus is the new target for space exploration | Uranus | The ...
The last time a probe visited the distant ice giant was in 1986, yet learning more about this cold world could tell us a lot about the galaxy
Studies have since shown Uranus to be a very odd world. While the rest of the planets in our solar system spin like tops, Uranus lies on its side. And although it is not the farthest planet from the sun, it is the solar system's coldest.
Russia's nuclear-powered space tug to deliver interstellar station to planets – ...
Moscow [Russia], July 16 (ANI/Sputnik): The Zeus unmanned nuclear-powered space tug, which is currently under development in Russia, would be delivering an interstellar space station to the planets of the Solar System while cosmonauts would be flying to the station separately due to long flights, ...
Jupiter is now rising in the evening sky | Space
Jupiter is currently rising in the night sky around midnight on the eastern horizon, dominating at an impressive -2.5 magnitude. (Naked-eye stars are visible at as little as magnitude 6; the lower the magnitude the brighter the object.
Stick around until dawn, when the largest planet of our solar system will be at its highest and clearest. Or better yet, wait until Tuesday (July 19) morning to see the planet in a conjunction (close approach) with the moon , just three degrees to the celestial southeast.
Images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope remind us, yet again, how improbable it is that ...
NASA unveiled the deepest, sharpest infrared image of the distant universe ever captured on Tuesday.
The James Webb Space Telescope's instruments capture distant galaxies, stars, and worlds in unprecedented detail.
"The deep field image fills me with wonder and hope," Lisa Kaltenegger, professor of astronomy at Cornell University and director of the Carl Sagan Institute, told Insider.

This happened because the Sun blasted us with ten superflares a day , the kind we thankfully get now only once a century.
According to Sammy Hagar, anyway. He says they inserted a numerical code , but since it used a different system from ours, we'll never know what it meant.
